Bindung / Attachment:

Bindung funktioniert wohl primär, über die schönen Erlebnisse, die man miteinander geteilt hat. Wenn man also eine Person vermisst, so läuft dieses Vermissen über die schönen Erlebnisse, die man mit eben dieser Person hatte. Das und das war gut und wertvoll, und das habe ich mit genau dieser einen Person erlebt.

Attachment seems to work primarily through the meaningful experiences two people have shared. When we miss someone, that sense of longing is often tied to the memories of those experiences. We remember what was good, beautiful, and valuable, and we remember that we experienced those things with that particular person. The thought is not merely "that was wonderful," but rather "that was wonderful, and I shared it with this one person."
